You Don't Even Know Me Lyrics - Al Stewart

All right you saw me in the "International Times" 

You've got my picture in your book 

You tell your friends not to call at weekend, 

And now you wear that far-off look 

All right you stole your mother's best sheets 

And put them on my bed 

And you remember all the words that I say 

And now you keep them in your head 

But you don't even know me 

You don't even know me 

You don't even know me at all 

All right I told you that I'm leaving London 

The Summer seems so long 

I've got no money to pay the rent 

I've got no place to take my songs 

And then you tell me I should keep on trying 

You hand me an envelope 

With all the money that you'd saved up 

You couldn't stand to see me go 

But you don't even know me 

You don't even know me 

You don't even know me at all 

All right I took you to the Hendrix concert 

On the seventh day of May 

And through the Summer of 1967 

We were part of the seeds of change 

And now you say that we can really make it 

We've got nowhere to fall 

And though the signs are hung in the rainy distance 

You don't see them at all 

But you don't even know me 

You don't even know me 

You don't even know me at all 

But you don't even know me 

You don't even know me 

You don't even knew me at all 

You don't know me at all 

You don't know me at all 

All right I think that we should stay together 

For a while
